Lost in the Cruel World Ultrahard steel ( 超硬質スチール Chō Kōshitsu Suchīru ? ) is a fabric that is used in the induce of blades capable of piercing and cutting the clamber of Titans .

Uses

Swords made of ultrahard steel are the main weapon used in the fight against the Titans. These one edge blades are included as partially of the vertical maneuver equipment. They are the alone portable weapons that are hard enough to pierce the consistency of a Titan ; cannons are able to wound a Titan ‘s body, but are very dense and inaccurate, and firearms can destroy the Titan ‘s eyes, but it is very hard for them to pierce a Titan ‘s hide effectively enough to kill it. therefore, blades are used two at a time to cut the nape of the Titans neck with accuracy. They can besides be used to cut or pierce about any other part of a Titan ‘s body such as tendons, fingers, or eyes. [ 1 ] They are rather whippersnapper so that soldiers are able to carry several blades at a clock time without being seriously weighed down or affecting their movements. however, they do have some limitations. After continued usage, the blades wear down and lose their sharp edge, which may result in the blades fail after excessively much usage. [citation needed] besides, since a soldier has to “ amputate ” the nape of the Titan ‘s neck, a individual blade is unmanageable to use before being grabbed or having another matter intervene, thus two blades are needed to kill a Titan effectively with less risk. The blades may break if they are used against something highly hard, such as the case-hardened skin of the Female Titan [ 2 ] [ 1 ] or the Armored Titan. [ 3 ] For that reason, soldiers wear many blades with their upright equipment so that they are able to replace them easily whenever necessity. Levi Ackerman has on juncture thrown these blades into Titans from longer ranges. [ 4 ]

initiation

The steel is created in the factories of production cities, where it is melted down and forged into the metallic needed for the blades. The metallic element can not be produced in any other place. [ 5 ] It is made from a shuffle of cast-iron bamboo and mixtures of rare metals to make not only stronger but besides lighter.

triviality

• Although the blades are meant to be used against Titans, they are an effective weapon against humans, too. Levi Ackerman used these blades to kill a person as he evaded Kenny Ackerman.[6] The momentum that the vertical equipment gives to the user may assist in the strike of the blade.
• Given that the swords are referred to as “flesh paring” blades, this could imply the swords have a low angle at the edge, roughly 15-20 degrees.
• Due to the blades shattering upon impact with hardened substances such as hardened Titan flesh, or when Mikasa’s blades chipped after killing an Abnormal Titan, this could imply that the blades are made of a very high carbon steel or a high chromium content stainless steel. Adding too much carbon to a blade can make them very hard, but very brittle (meaning they are unable to bend and cope with higher, structural stress), and chromium also makes the steel very hard and rust-resistant, but very brittle, as well.
• Although this is not the correct purpose, the blades can be launched like a giant tomahawk. When launched, they are strong enough to kill a person, or blind the eyes of a Titan.
• The blades seem to have segments on it, reminiscent of a box-cutter knife blade.
